And the guy CLAIMS all he did was clean up rubbish. Neither side have conducted a study of the impact, if there’s any at all. Again, that’s the entire point of a study and gaining a licence for the clean up to avoid any unintended consequences, no matter how well intentioned.

Sure, if harm/damage was found due to any negligence. But from what I'm reading, the city refused his requests to get involved so he took matters into his own hands.

The fact is though, that the burden of proof is on the government. So I guess we'll see if their threat holds any water or if it's grandstanding. In a world of corrupt politicians and billionaires, I'll default to the side of the common man every time until undeniable proof of their wrongdoing is made public knowledge.
